WEBVTT - CLOWN FOR HIRE: Froomes Chats About Her Craziest DM Request 🤡

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch Up podcast. It is Flex and Frooms

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:10.120
<v Speaker 1>on cater.

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you are maintaining a habit so well

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and then the weekend comes and you're off your game. Now,

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I was okay, great, so let's continue. I didn't realize

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I haven't done my Dutch in three days because I

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 2>took a weekend off and then the habit disappear. So scary,

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>so spooky, but it's coming back everyone, and you know,

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 2>it's also so cool. My TikTok algorithm knows that I'm

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>learning Dutch, so it sends me Dutch specific content like

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>memes and stuff. And I'm learning a lot about Dutch

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 2>stereotypes through TikTok, Like it's telling me that Dutch people

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>are quite steretically speaking, if you are.

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Like quite cold and.

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Not quite like light and humorous and not like passive

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>aggressive a lot of the time, so it's really interesting

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>for me. Don't respond well to like banter and stuff

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 2>like that, which I think is quite interesting. If you

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 2>attempt to spreak natal LUNs wow to a Dutch person

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>and you let it slip that you're actually not a

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 2>native speaker, they'll just switch to English on you.

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I like that. I won't switch back good because they

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>want to practice their English on you.

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>You want to statute.

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>That they said, this is out Field and Jacklie. Anyway,

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>here's a potty, this is flex and Rooms on Kaita Flexi.

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I received quite a startling DM a few saturdays ago.

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and you received.

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 2>A lot of those, Like your ratio of startling dms

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 2>is quite high. I find myself very confused. So when

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 2>people get the gall and the gumption.

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 4>Literally, I do know the male fan base is still

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 4>on board. I did get it. You're pretty hot a

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 4>few a few days ago, good days. And you know

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 4>what came from a man who said you're with no

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 4>E and said, yo, you aren't. For some reason, they

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 4>hit different in a really good way.

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Speaking about guys being into you, we did have a

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 2>comment on our flex and Frooms page about they would

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 2>pay anything for your feet.

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Your feet, babes, babes, and I've been given it. I've

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>been taking pictures of rooms his feet and putting them out.

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>For free, and they're telling him mark it and takes

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>some bts feet picks and start cashing in.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>My king likes a purple foot.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 4>I do have terrible circulation, so please look for the

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 4>purple foot on feeds.

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Near you today.

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, I get a DM that first tiggles me pink

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 4>and second makes me question who I am in the

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 4>world and where I stand.

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>A man messages me and he says, cut the cameras.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Facts.

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 4>He said something very disturbing, and it involved getting back

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 4>at his girlfriend. Not only disturbing, it's out of touch,

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 4>it's abrasive. It requires so much boldness that I wonder

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 4>you already have the confidence you'reniquing.

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.079
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to extract more from fruby.

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 4>But please, He's sent it at ten forty five, so

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm assuming maybe he was like four drinks DP.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Can we just hang out together and take selfies? My

0:02:55.720 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>girl friend to hide? Hello, how are you?

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 4>My girlfriend cheated on me and he's a fan of yours, loulol.

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 4>He obviously had spelted incorrectly.

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps to take me off.

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 4>You're lou, he said lou, meaning to say ollo, Well,

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 4>I think he was throwing me off the scent, you know, cheeky.

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I said it wrong.

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 4>This isn't pre meditated when in reality this was a

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 4>premeditated defense.

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 2>You did share this with your audience and were quite

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>surprised by the overwhelming response.

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 4>Literally, the most liked comment on the post was hang

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 4>out with.

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>This person, give them a smooch. Are you serious?

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>The bar is subterranean, the bar is an Atlantis, the

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 2>bar is an Earth's core.

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 4>So this was quite This brought up a lot of

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 4>emotions and past trauma for me.

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I will say the T word because you don't really

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>mess with a T word like that.

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a half mess. It's an unresolved feeling. I

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 4>don't know how I feel. I have a track record

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 4>and I don't want to speak this into existence.

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>No, you can just tell the truth.

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 4>I feel like there is a track record with men

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 4>pursuing me to get back at people. I have a

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 4>large woman audience. It's actually like, for a while it

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 4>was pretty balanced. It was balanced between like seventy thirty.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 4>I had a fifty to fifty audience since I was

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 4>like a chick DJ.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a bit of that.

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 4>The women are popping, and I must say they are

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 4>a loyal bunch. The audience is engaged and they have

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 4>been giving me love for quite a few years. Now,

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 4>so thank you those who are there pre COVID, I

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 4>particularly appreciate you. We talk about this often. The real

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 4>ones know anyway, the idea that I would meet up

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 4>with a man to get back at one of my

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 4>loyal followers who is a fan enough that she has

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 4>told her man her partner, which is a big deal,

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, getting the men on board as if respectfully,

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 4>And you've actually offended me, and I'm freaking out. Okay,

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 4>this is the first time I believe that a man

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 4>has pursued me in order to get back at the

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.799
<v Speaker 4>X or in order to get clout in their respective

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 4>city clout.

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>And whenever I say it, I feel like people think

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>that I'm being facetious or my head she's too big.

0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Real instances, people aren't quiet about wanting proximity to clout.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not a quiet thing. People will cloud deems with

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 2>their whole chest. I don't want to one up you,

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 2>but I've been on an entire date. I was bamboozled

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>take an eye on a date to then hear that

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the reason why we're on this date is so he

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>could tell his ex girlfriend.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Could you imagine. I can't help but feel that.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 4>People out themselves around you.

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh, they can't help her in a way, which I

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 2>would think is like a quite dangerous thing to do

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 2>because I am really opinionated generally, I don't think I'm

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>the safest person to out yourself around because I would say,

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 2>more often than not, I tell people not to be

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 2>themselves around me.

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>You want a burp? No, you want a fart.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 5>That's on you?

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>If that's on New Brookie. Brookies is a big dogs.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>You can handle it, you know what I'm saying. So

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, in this instance, I'm not a safe place

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.799
<v Speaker 2>to land. I'm not, but it really scares me because

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I really feel like the older that we get and

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>with the more people interact with, we should be developing

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>a base level of trust and understanding. I don't like

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>this idea that you've created and cultivated a safe space

0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 2>for yourself by sharing the information about yourself, by being open,

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>by being honest, and people infiltrate that and take advantage

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 2>of it in such a demeaning way. I don't think

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>someone could conceptualize how hurtful that is. Yeah, So like

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>like hang out with this guy. It's like, do you

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>hear what's happening here? You've been reduced to a pawn

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>in someone's like magical game.

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Your ex doesn't what you baby, she cheated so.

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Already the phrase you could already your bottom of the

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.280
<v Speaker 2>barrel for me can't bring.

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>You up from the hell house you're residing.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 4>She doesn't care for you, king, So why would I listen?

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Misery loves company.

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 2>That's number one, number one, And I said, pay me

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.039
<v Speaker 2>and I'll keep it hurt people. I actually hate it

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 2>so much. But what I hate more than him reaching out,

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I kind of applaud confidence in some

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>in some instances. But what pains me more is that

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 2>so many people couldn't see the issue with it. That

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 2>is spooky to me.

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>And I'd be like, oh my god, yes, go on

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a date with this king, like help him out? Ill,

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Why would I do that? People are sick. I'm not

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.239
<v Speaker 1>looking for a bitter rebound.

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 4>Man's also, so think about me, okay, think about my

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.279
<v Speaker 4>needs as a woman. Obviously they're un met in this scenario.

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 2>And also, don't let someone tell you twice they don't

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 2>want you. That's just like that's just like a little

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>bit of a little bit of advice. Generally, this person's

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>told you once in the most horrific way possible that

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 2>they don't want you.

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Don't let them tell you twice.

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 4>And pull me into this mess sickos.

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. Let me turn off your messages. I

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know what like when every now and then for

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>me will send.

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Me or show me what people have said to her

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 2>in her messages. And it's a certain lack of respect

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 2>that I think that people struggle with because you're a

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>funny person, so they assume it's like a no holds

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>barred everything's a joke.

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's just like rid basic respect.

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Whereas I'm on the extreme end of the spectrumhen people

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>fear being called out as you should. So like I

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>bullied people into manners, Everyone's like.

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Hello, hell like dive flex, how are you?

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.600

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Just one of us, And now oh I can't hang.

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 2>They're talking about your body to.

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Someone said you lived in.

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Squalor say we live in Scholar because you don't have

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 2>a balcony.

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to Sydney. Listen.

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 4>It's as we know. I've spoken about the boobs often.

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 4>The boobs are a bi contentious one.

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Men and women. They can't help themselves.

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 2>They really can't help themselves, like no sea of the consequence,

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>and that's what spooks me often.

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you know me, I don't want to be

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 4>the cops seek to people who go out of the

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 4>way to DM me, but it does test my patience.

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 4>And I will say it sounds overstated. Most of the

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 4>dms I get are amazing. They're memes people are thinking

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 4>of me. I just love the idea that I'm in

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 4>your thoughts but not in your words towards me.

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, unless you want to say I'm a.

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 4>Pretty princess or that I've changed your life through many means,

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 4>keeps yourself love.

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:56.839
<v Speaker 1>Literally did you respond to him?

0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I just put it on my Instagram and I went

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>back and needle it. Obviously it's all good to have regrets.

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, but this is why I stay on the

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 2>screenshot button. Shit, nothing, nothing will be hidden from me.

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 2>The moment said someone says something out to turn it's screenshot,

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Like someone says to me, where's that from? I said,

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 2>so where's your please and thank you from And they're like,

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 2>oh sorry, I hob it over that instant story. Let

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>me leave.

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to fight and I want to fight. Listen.

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, thanks guys, Keita, Flex and Froomes, Flex and froms. Listen,

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 4>anyone who is a fan of love and people doing

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 4>awkward things, You've come to the right place.

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a love line.

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 4>It's been sent in from one of our listeners. Her

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 4>name is sof Hi surf Hi. We're gonna get to

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 4>the bottom of your little tiny love line dilemma that

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 4>you've sent in. No voice note this time, so do

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 4>use my voice acting skills.

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you can hire me a creative rap. She's not

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>joking too, a bit desperate, but that's fine. Hey, Flex

0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms.

0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 4>I went on a date with a guy last week

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 4>and I I have the biggest ick and I wanted

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.199
<v Speaker 4>to check with you if you think it's justified already.

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 4>I have some thoughts on the ick, but we'll continue.

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>We're post ike at flexen Frooms. But you know it

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>is what it is.

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 4>We know it's indicative of a different issue. Let me continue.

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 4>He mentioned that he wanted to take me out dancing

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 4>and I love a boogy myself, so I was really excited.

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 4>He sent me an address and I rocked up, expecting

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 4>it to be a club. But it wasn't a club.

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 4>It was an arcade with the dance mat.

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 4>We were easily the oldest ones there and he was

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 4>really into it. It didn't even look like he was good.

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 4>In fact, there were children pointing and laughing. When I

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:37.839
<v Speaker 4>say I had the ike, all of the hairs in

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 4>the back of my neck stood up and me couldn't

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.719
<v Speaker 4>get away from him quick enough. It sucks because we

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 4>really vibe when texting. Can I get past it? Or

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 4>once you get the ick, does it never really go away?

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 4>So question is oldest time myself. Oh so it's saying

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 4>like the ick is kind of like a virus. It mutates,

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 4>it grows. Okay, maybe an ick is way more complex

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 4>than I thought. I think it might be. I, straight

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 4>off the bat, have an opinion on any kind of arcade, situation, beat,

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.320
<v Speaker 4>a bowling alley, laser tag, or any kind of manufunctured

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 4>fun minigal.

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>You're a hater. I have a curse okay, okay.

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Where when I'm dating someone and we go and do

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 4>one of these activities.

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 2>The relationships, you seem like someone who gives off the

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 2>vibe of enjoying those things. So I can understand that's

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>where the friction lies, because you're like, get me out

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:22.559
<v Speaker 2>of this hellhole.

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, it's so you clown, just clown their vibes.

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, many a relationship has lived and died in an arcade.

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 4>I will say, there's something about seeing someone experience manufactured

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 4>fun while the child waits its turn that hats a

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 4>little bit too differently, And it also reminds me of

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 4>like being twelve, eleven or twelve, Like you just start

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 4>getting crushed on guys and you guys go to the

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 4>arcade together and it's awkward and they smell.

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I also feel like a first date, second date, third date,

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 2>you should be trying to avoid any potential river embarrassment

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 2>as much as possible. You don't have the leisure being

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 2>seen like a full person, And so these.

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Things were like I just want to be myself. Wait

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>till you start dating. Okay, wait, wait, lots official. This

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 1>is I.

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Think this is different from the ick. Okay, this is

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 2>a grave misunderstanding of who you are and who they are.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Because he's aid boogie and you thought club and he

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 2>thought game zone. That's not going to work out long term.

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 2>We're already doing miscommunication off the bat. And I know

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 2>this is like, probably not one of my greatest habits,

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 2>but I definitely learned it from my mum. She's very,

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 2>very aware of how she's perceived in relation to other people.

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Shoutout being a black woman in a racist county, et cetera.

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 2>But so she made me really paranoid about being an

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>environment and not being seen as the standard, the norm

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 2>or like better than you know. Works out for this industry,

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 2>but also works out just for life, because I just

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like you need to be really careful when you're

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 2>doing secondhand embarrassment. Think about your think about your neighbor,

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 2>think about your community, embarrass yourself in your own time.

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 2>But now you're bringing on guests and spectators. Now we're

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 2>all embarrassed. Look at what you've done. It's dangerous.

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 1>It's very dangerous. Imagine you're you threw me in this

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>woman's position. You would never recover.

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't, I know, the reputational damage, would be very embarrassed.

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Telling me, no, we can't talk about it on air

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.199
<v Speaker 1>we can't talk about it. That's what happened, but off

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 1>air we will be analyzing. Of course.

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, rip, so you're just not compatible. You might have chemistry,

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you're not compatible because if you were compatible, you wouldn't

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 2>think this was embarrassing. You might you said, the text

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.200
<v Speaker 2>game was amazing, great, but we need both chemistry and compatibility.

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>It's true. Well let us know how you go so

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 1>flex and frooms.

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.319
<v Speaker 2>When I say will be Goldberg, what comes to mind?

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Sister Act.

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 4>Sister Act, funny woman, quite like androgynists almost in her

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 4>approach to life.

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 1>She's kind of quite wise, wise ageless.

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I think I could trust will be gold work with

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.200
<v Speaker 2>anything I agree, but mostly just sage life advice. And

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 2>so to my surprise, I find would be on my timeline.

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>I said, baby, what are.

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:03.839
<v Speaker 5>You doing here?

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing here?

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Ariana? And she's doing this interview.

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I can't recall who from It doesn't really matter, but

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 2>this interviewer is kind of like going down memory lane

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>and talking about how frequently we'll Gog's been married and

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>it's three times, which I found surprising because I just

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, how some celebrities really commodify their relationships and

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>so it becomes a brand them to be in a couple.

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Giselle bunchten and who's.

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 3>The on top?

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady.

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like there are a couple, you know, George Clooney,

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 2>a Mile Clooney.

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 4>Couple, Mirandaca or Andro Bloom.

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, couple that kind of vibe. And so I thought, oh, interesting.

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And so she goes on to recall her experience being

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>married and I'm ready for you know, when you find

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.239
<v Speaker 2>your person and it's blissful and it's amazing.

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 1>But her approach really sobered me up and kind of

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>put me off.

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Listen to the Siktog video from I think I have

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 2>a rash in.

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 5>Love with all your husbands? No, any of them?

0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't think so.

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 5>Really, that's an amazing thing desire, isn't it.

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 3>But it's the truth.

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 5>It's an amazing Oh well, all right, you bold up

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 5>at me. Do you have church weddings? No?

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Let me see.

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 6>I think there's a Vegas and maybe one was a

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 6>church and one was a house wedding.

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 5>What did you do if you were in love with me?

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 6>Because I wanted to feel normal, and it seemed to

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 6>me that if I was married, i'd have a much normal,

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.200
<v Speaker 6>more normal life. Clearly that's not the case. That's not

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 6>a good reason to get married. You have to actually

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 6>want a life with someone through ups and downs, and

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 6>I just discovered that wasn't for me.

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 5>How many times have you been in love once? Good

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 5>with you? Oh?

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Man? Go on, I've gone as far as I'm going.

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 5>Can I chuck a name?

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 3>You could chuck a name, Teddy?

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 6>You're asking me if I was in love with ted

0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 6>Is that the man I'm talking about?

0:15:59.160 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes?

0:15:59.480 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 5>Really? Would we know who the person is? No?

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 3>And that's the beauty. Yes, I know bombshells are was

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 3>not a.

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 6>Real bombshell, but I snuck a couple in on y'all

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 6>and nobody knew.

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 5>Do you wish she'd married that person?

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 6>Because what I know now is I don't want to

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 6>live with her.

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 3>I want to live with anyone with the wrong guys.

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:25.200
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 6>No, I think I've tried it with probably the right

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 6>guys for other people. But it's it's not It wasn't them,

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 6>It was me because I actually.

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Like living on my own.

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 6>I like being able to go up and down my

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 6>stairs farting like a queen and not having to explain

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 6>I like being able to smoke all over my house

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 6>and have someone go.

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, I like my privacy.

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, I thought that I would be an Oprah type

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>of person, But I think I want to be Woe

0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 2>go but when I grow up. Because I really appreciated

0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 2>that in that instance, she could have.

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Lied what efference between Oprah.

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Like in this scenari Oprah is the quintessential matriarch, all

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the positive qualities, she's nurturing, she gardens. She doesn't have kids,

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 2>but she's always wanted them, and she's been with this

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 2>one man and he's the guy. And it's just like

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 2>she's introspective in a really appealing way, and her ideas

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 2>about the world are very agreeable and accessible and made

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 2>for consumption. And then you have Willpi Goldberg, who carries

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 2>the same amount of wisdom, but it feels like it's

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 2>so unique to her. You know, this interview is trying

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 2>to put words in her mouth to say, well, maybe

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 2>you didn't marry the right person.

0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 1>No, like they are good people. I just don't want

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to be married. Oh but surely no.

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 4>No, that it's a very interesting meeting of minds are

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 4>very persistent. I mean that was like journalism one one

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 4>in a really scary way, but did you?

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 1>And could you?

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 2>And she's like, I'm telling you exactly how it was,

0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and you're not listening, but that idea of you know,

0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 2>she did it three times. She got married three whole

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 2>time for people that to this day she still thinks

0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.159
<v Speaker 2>are great people, and still didn't enjoy it. And I

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.680
<v Speaker 2>don't think a lot of us have prepared ourselves for

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 2>the reality that you will get married and not enjoy

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>it in the same way you visit that country on

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.399
<v Speaker 2>a vacation you don't like it, or you get that

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 2>job and it's not that great, or you make that

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 2>friend and they're not that cool. But this marriage thing

0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 2>is so pedestalized, and I don't think we live a

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of room for it to be wrong, and that's

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 2>why it goes wrong. And she did it three wa

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:23.960
<v Speaker 2>and barely remembered.

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 5>One was a.

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Church wedding, like didn't even make an impression. It was

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:30.919
<v Speaker 1>like a bad dream.

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I love Whoopee. That felt really good to hear. Good

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 2>on you, whoopee. If you're listening, thank you for the inspiration.
